Dirksen Gets Much-Needed Pot
Level 9
Dustin Dirksen, runner-up in the $10,000 championship edition of this event last year, was sitting on a short stack as he raised from the big blind after an opponent on the button limped in. The button called as they saw a flop of 2?6?J?.
Dirksen continued with a bet and the button called. Both players checked the 7? turn.
The river came the K? and Dirksen led out again. The button gave the decision some thought before flinging in a call.
"Two pair," Dirksen announced, turning over A?10?K?2? for kings and deuces as he took in the pot to climb back up near the starting stack.
